A confectioner at 475 Fourth avenue or dered three tons of coal to be delivered the other day. A driver, with a three ton wagon, went to tfte store late in the afternoon, lifted & big iron cover in the sidewalk near the curb, and chuted the three tons into the dark hole. Then he drove away, says the New York Times. The confectioner went down to the cel lar in a little while to bank the coal. He found none. He wondered for some time, as he remembered seeing the coal wagon in front of his Btore, but he told the company he had received no coal. The driver went down to see about it. "What's the matter?" he asked. "You got your coal. What ye kickin' about?" "Didn't get any coal. Come down into the cellar and see." "Why, I dumped it into the coal hole out there." "Which hole?" "That one," said the driver, pointing to the cover near the curb. "Himmel!" exclaimed the purchaser, in •gony. "That ain't the coal hole. Tnat the sewer."

It hardly paya to laugh before you are certain of facts, for It Is sometimes humiliating to think of afterwards. "When I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did, but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again as he did not think it was the coffee caused the troubles. "So I commenced It again and con tinued about 6 months until my stomach commenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed some thing the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. "One day I took a drive with my husband three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double In the buggy aifd when my husband hitched the horse to get me out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doctor pronounced It nervous heart trouble and when I got home I was so weak I could not sit up. "My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof fee, but I said: 'Take that back, dear, I will never drink another cup of cof fee if you gave mo everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.' He and the others laughed at me and said: 'The Idea of coffee killing any body.' 'Well,' I said, 'It Is nothing else but coffee that is doing it.' "In the grocery one day my husband was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought hiw good it was but said nothing to the hired men and they thought they had drank coffee until we laughed and told them. Well we kept on with Postum and it was not long before the color came back to my cheeks and I got stout and felt as good as I ever did in my life. I have no more stomach trouble and I know I owe it all to Postum in place of coffee. "My husband has gained good health on Postum, as well as baby and I, and we all think nothing is too good to Bay about it." Name given toy Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. THREE NIGHTS AWFUL TBIP WITH CORPSE OVER ALASKAN TRAIL. FIGHTS SLEEP AND BEASTS Fire Alone Saves Man and Burden on Long and Desolate Journey— Almost Crazed by Lack of Rest. Tacoma, Wash—The story told by M. A. Mahoney, who brought the body of the late Mayor Humes, of Seattle, from Fairbanks, in the interior of Alaska, is a grewsome one. His ex periences along the trail are worthy of the morbid pen of Poe or the imagina tion of Stevenson. Mahoney is frank enough to confess that could he have foretold the hardships that awaited him on that road of ice and snow, he would never have undertaken the jour ney. He was scarcely two days out of Fairbanks when bis worries began with the cries of wolves. Mahoney brought his dog team to a stop and listened. In a short time the wail was repeated. This time it was an swered by another, coming from a point down the trail, but unmistakably nearer. Mark Mahoney knew that a big pack of timber wolves had struck his trail, and that from that hour he must pit his brain against tlieir hunger match his wit and cunning against theirs. Un armed, he stood and reflected. Barring accidents, he knew that three long days and nights lay before him before he could hope for human help. He FOWUHT THE WOI/VES WITH FTRE liltAN DS. hatl covered a vast stretch of territory that day, and was tired. As he listened to the wails of the hungry pack coming closer and closer he knew there was no sleep for him that night. And there was none. There was only one thing for him to do, of course, and the fact that he brought the body through safely shows that he did it. He spoke to the leader of his dog team, and they, too, hear ing and understanding the "call of the wild," wheeled quickly and made off for the woods in a direct right angle to the trail. Once under the shelter of the pines and firs, Mahoney built a log fire and proceeded to get himself and his dogs a hasty supper. It was well that he acted quickly, for hardly had the evening meal been finished when the wolves arrived. Mahoney placed the casket contain ing the remains of Mayor Humes as close to the lire as he dared, and then pat down. The dogs, from sheer weariness and fright, crept between the box and the crackling wood fire, and lay there, whining through the long watche3 of the night. All night long that lonely camp, pitched upon one of the most desolate and solitary trails in all the frozen recesses of Alaska, was surrounded by a row of gleaming eyes. Mahoney sat tliera alone, the casket for his seat, and stared back into the eyes that gleamed so hungrily at him. Sleep? It was out of the question. Rest? Every nerve in the man's body was straining to a tension that bespoke a breaking. There is an end to all things, how ever, and after what seemed to be the passing of an eternity the morning sun scattered the shadows and the wolves slunk away. Mahoney once more stepped out upon the trail. All that day he pursued his way over mountains, through timber, across rivers and over plains, and not once did he see a sign or hear a sound from the pack that he knew too. well were silently following his footsteps. But no sooner had the sun begun to dip toward the western horizon than he again heard the wail of the wolf— a long, unnatural, blood-curdling wail, and again he spoke to the leader of his dog team, and again the tpail was left and Mahoney struck for the shel tering shadows of the wood. If he were tired the night before, he was desperate now. After he had fed himself and his dogs he arranged the corpse as he had the night before. This tiiv!?, however, he placed the cof fin against the trunk of a tree, and leaned his back against it as he set tled himself for another sleepless watch for the coming of another day. His main fight that night was against sleep. As a consequence., ho gathered a quantity of pine knots, a?ul lighting one, he tied it to his right hand. As he dozed off the flames, creeping closer, would burn him, and naturally cause him to be wide-awalce. He would then get up, throw more wood on the fire, and return to the coffin. He kept this up all night long, and the wrist of his right arm bears evidence of how faith fully. As on the day before, the wolves de parted upon the coming of the dawn, .al though they followed him as relent lessly as they had done ever since the trail was struck, and the third and last night that Mahoney went without sleep, and almost without food, will be kept green in his memory as long as he lives. As usual, Mahoney left the trail some little time before sundown, made his camp and gathered a large quan tity of wood. He knew that if he could weather the night, his fight against sleep and beast would be end ed, for the next day would find him at a roadhouse, and from then on it would be easy sailing. Everything went well until three o'clock. From then on until morning it was not so much of a fight for the preservation of the remains of the late mayor as it was for the preservation of the life of Mahoney. The wolves, their hunger increasing, grew bolder, and despite the fact that the fire was burning as brightly as the fires of the previous night had done, the gray timber terrors crept closer and closer. Ever and anon one, overbold, would jump out of the shadow circle cast by the flames of the fire and snap vi ciously at the feet Of the silent watcher. All night long Mahoney fought these wolves. He would take a long piece of pine timber, and, with one end burn ing, would strike and smash at the glowing eyes and gleaming teeth, and in that way he not only kept himself awake, but he also drove back his foes. When morning finally came, Ma honey, half-crazed through fear and loss of sleep, once more took the trail, and at noon that day he came to a roadhouse, where he was re ceived, fed and put to bed. He slept until eight o'clock the next morning, when he at once took to the trail, and from that time until he reached Val dez he was not compelled to spend a a single night alone, nor did he again hear from the unwelcome guests that had followed him for three days and nights. There are white hairs on Mahoney's head to-day. They were absent when he left Fairbanks. BEAR CAUSES PANIC AMONG CHORUS GIRLS. Animal Rushes from Its Cage, Claws Actors, and Drives Performers Over Footlights. New York.—During a rehearsal in the new Colonial theater the other day a bear escaped from his cage, rushed to the stage, attacked several of the perform ers. and before he was overcome had so severely bitten and clawed several of them that they had to be taken to their homes. Miss Libby Blondell and Junie Mc Cree were the most severely injured. As the bear ruslied on to the stage he struck Miss Blondell and knocked her down. When she fell the bear rolled over her, and, enraged by her screams and at tempts to free herself, struck out savagely at her. McCree seized the brute and tried to drag it away from the actress, but his as ATTACKED SEVERAL OF THE PER FORMERS. strength was not sufficient, and he, too, was bitten and deep gashes were cut in his arms and legs by the bear's claws. So terrified were the chorus girls on the stage that many of them leaped over the footlights into the orchestra. Stage hands and men of the company secured ropes and finally made a prisoner of the bear. The bear was to be used in a wrestling act and was thought to be safely in his cage while the rehearsal was in progress. Owing to the injuries sustained by the principal members of the company the opening of the theater was postponed. Dog Went 300 Miles Alone. Kansas City.—The remarkable at tachment for its home place is shown in the case of Carlo, a fine water spaniel belonging to James Dingman, who sev eral weeks ago left Stroud, O. T., foi* Idaho. Carlo was tied in one of the cars with the stock. He stood the trip for 300 miles, but the desire to get back to the old home place evidently grew upon him. Mr. Dingman thought it was safe •to untie the dog, but no sooner had the animal been loosed than it jumped out of the car and made a bee line for Stroud. It never stopped until It had traveled the whole 300 miles and reached home almost starved. Needed Chair.

Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney dis ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. .Pink* ham, early in her career, gave exhaust* ive study to the subject, and in pro ducing her great remedy for woman's ills—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in. har mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many 6o called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia' E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound is the only one espe cially prepared for women, and thou sands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent, scanty or high col ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick aust in it un usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid neys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E.
